first paragraph |
I am trying to get a copy of the example NCDC weather data used in the book, but encounter an error. There seems to be a problem in the security configuration of the S3 bucket containing the data.
Following the instructions at http://www.hadoopbook.com/ I am trying to access the data in Amazon S3, in the hadoopbook bucket. For example I should be able to access the data for the year 1901 on S3 like so:
http://hadoopbook.s3.amazonaws.com/ncdc/all/1901.gz
I get the following error message:
<Error>
<Code>AccessDenied</Code>

Second section heading |
This is actually for the third edition, but i couldn't find where to submit errata for that edition. On the fourth and fifth page of the book, RDBMS is twice described as "Rational" Database Management System -- elsewhere it is correctly referred to as a Relational Database Management System, but in these two instances (the section heading itself and later in the section) Relational is accidentally spelled Rational.

final paragraph |
Book shows setting the HADOOP_CLASSPATH=hadoop-examples.jar. This is incorrect, as the ant build.xml creates a job.jar file. The HADOOP_CLASSPATH should be pointing to job.jar for the example to work properly.

The sentence "The log director will be created if it doesn't already exist."
Should be "The log directory will be created if it doesn't already exist." (the third word should be "directory" and not "director".)

"We will see how to do efficient sampling at this end of this section."
Should probably end with "...at the end of this section."
("the" instead of "this".)

README file to build examples |
The only instructions for building the example code are in the README file at the top of the GitHub tree. The compilation dies at the HBASE step with what appears to be a source code error in the routine HBaseStationCli.java
